I'm 48 and have been doing TRT for almost 2 years now. I'm doing it through a TRT physician and he started me off at 50mg/wk. I think my total T level was 320 when I started. After 6 months I got up to 500 so the doc then put me up to 100mg/wk so then at the 1yr mark my T levels were almost 1100. He had me back off to 80mg/wk which I'm currently doing. I'm very happy I did it and I have no problem injecting myself once a week, it's really not a big deal. I do HCG .25mg twice a week and my testicle size has not changed a whole lot since I started. The HCG gives me a subtle extra boost towards the end of the week before my next T injection. I also take .25mg arimidex 3 times a week to control my estrogen levels as they were getting a bit high (even though I never experienced any gyno).
My energy levels are really good and pretty consistent through the week. I find that when I have a hard workout, I get a real nice natural boost of T which really enhances this regimen that I'm currently on. My LDL and triglyceride levels have dropped which I'm also very happy about and my strength in the gym is really good for a guy my age. I'm 6'0", about 185-190lbs with a 32 waist. I'd say that I'm at about 15% body fat. All in all I'm very satisfied and I'm happy to continue it my whole life. As Fortis will attest, it can really be a difference maker but every guy needs to consider it carefully, pros and cons.
